Issue with Calculated Column

‎01-21-2021 08:22 AM

I have a calculated column with the formula: 

RevisedEndDate = If('CRM Opportunities'[Estimated_End_Date] < DATEADD(TODAY(),18, MONTH), DATEADD(TODAY(),18, MONTH),'CRM Opportunities'[Estimated_End_Date] )
 
But TODAY() is red highlighted and there is a message stating Parameter is not the Correct type.
 
What is wrong with the syntax of my formula ?
 
Thank you

This works:
RevisedEndDate = If('CRM Opportunities'[Estimated_End_Date]>TODAY()+540, TODAY()+540,'CRM Opportunities'[Estimated_End_Date])

@vsslasd1 DATEADD need a date table as first parameter, not a Scalar value and that's why you are getting that error.
